Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry on Wednesday commended the role of Pakistan Television (PTV), state broadcasters, and national media during the recent episode of Indian aggression, stating they fulfilled their responsibilities in an exemplary manner. 

Speaking during the Question Hour in the National Assembly in response to a query from MNA Dr. Shazia Raza, Dr. Chaudhry emphasized that the country faced sensitive circumstances during the recent tensions with India, and the national media played a pivotal role in maintaining unity and disseminating accurate information.
